Tainan Attractions

仰望國聖港燈塔

Standing on a sandbank, the Guosheng Port Lighthouse, built in 1957, is located in Guosheng Port, Qigu District, Tainan City, and is the westernmost lighthouse in Taiwan. It has a conical steel frame structure with alternating black and white colors. The original Guosheng Port Lighthouse, which began operation, was lost to the sea due to typhoon damage and coastal erosion. It was destroyed by Typhoon Wela in 1969, rendering it unusable. In June 1970, a new lighthouse was constructed nearby at Dingtou Eshan to replace the old one. Suggested one-day itinerary: Qigu Salt Mountain → Taiwan Salt Museum → Boat ride on Qigu Lagoon → Guosheng Port Lighthouse. It is not recommended to visit at night due to lack of lighting. Because the northern entrance of the northern embankment is prone to sand accumulation due to wind conditions, visitors should pay attention to safety to avoid getting stuck in mud. It is recommended to enter from the southern entrance of the northern embankment.
